Caprese Grilled Cheese

Ingredients

• 4 slices Sourdough bread
• 6 oz Fresh mozzarella
• 1 large Tomato
• 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 1 tbsp Balsamic glaze(optional)
• 1/4 tsp Salt(optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Slice the mozzarella and tomato into even, 1/4-inch thick slices. Pat tomato slices dry with a paper towel to prevent sogginess.

2. 2

   Butter the outside of each sourdough slice. On the unbuttered side of two slices, layer mozzarella, tomato slices, basil leaves, and a light sprinkle of salt. Drizzle with balsamic glaze if using, then top with remaining slices, buttered side out.

3. 3

   Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Grill sandwiches 4-5 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until bread is golden and mozzarella is fully melted, about 10 minutes total.

4. 4

   Rest 1 minute, slice in half, and serve warm.
